The United Kingdom introduced its first codes of practice for online safety, overseen by Ofcom. These regulations require social media platforms like Meta's Facebook to tackle criminal activities and improve safety features. The codes specifically address issues such as child sexual abuse and suicide-related content. Companies failing to comply face significant penalties, including fines of up to £18 million or 10% of their global turnover. This initiative marks a pivotal step in creating a safer digital environment.
